Emma's P.O.V
That's when I decide: I'm going to propose to Regina Mills. It may not be tomorrow, or next week, or even next month but I will. And it's going to be awesome.
Regina's P.O.V
I roll over with a groan and bump into a body, opening my eyes slowly. When I catch sight of blonde curls a lazy smile makes it's way onto my face. I look at the clock and see that it's already seven o'clock and that I should've woken up a few minutes ago. I realize I must have forgotten to set the alarm but I don't mind. I get out of bed slowly, carefully moving her arm off of my body and making sure not to wake her. I go into the bathroom and start the shower. I wait for it to get to the right temperature before stripping down and getting in. I shower quickly and then get out, putting on my make-up and blow drying my hair.
When I go back into my room Emma is still laying in bed and I glance at the clock. It's 7:30 now so I decide I should probably get her up. I walk over to the bed and climb on before straddling her sleeping form. I remember how hard it was to get her up last time so I think for a moment. A smirk takes over my lips as I get an idea before leaning down to kiss her. She doesn't stir at all so I kiss her again before moving my lips lower, moving down her neck and then to her breasts. I tweak her nipples lightly through her shirt and that's when she begins to move around beneath me.
"What time is it?" Emma mumbles.
"Seven thirty." I tell her before kissing her again. She reaches up to run her fingers through my hair and I pull back just enough to look into her stunning green eyes.
"Well good morning to you too." She smiles sleepily and I get off her.
"Help me pick something to wear?" I ask her and she nods, rolling over to get a better look at my closet.
"Something sexy." Emma states before I even begin to look. I look over my shoulder to glare at her and she laughs. I pull out a handful of shirts and she inspects each one.
"Definitely the steel gray. And pair that with your red skirt and red blazer." Emma tells me.
"You like seeing me in red?" I ask with a smug smile and she laughs.
"Definitely. Red is a power colour and I like a woman in power." She smirks. I get dressed right in front of her, dropping my bathrobe and baring everything I have. I shimmy a pair of red lace underwear up my legs and Emma grabs the matching red bra from my hands before I can put it on.
"Let me." She smiles. She kisses me everywhere the bra would go and I have to hit her on the forearm to get her to hurry up.
"As much as I enjoy finding out you're a sex monkey, I have to get ready Emma. Hurry up dear." I tell her and she giggles before doing up my bra. Once she's done I quickly pull on my shirt and pull up my skirt as Emma decides to button up my blouse for me.
"You called me a sex monkey?" Emma says a few minutes later and I laugh.
"Did you just catch that?" I ask incredulously.
"I was mulling it over." She grumbles and kisses me before heading to my bathroom.
"Do you mind waking up Henry?" She asks me with a smile before she disappears and I hear the shower start.
"Fine. But only because you smell and you really need that shower!" I call out and hear her laugh from inside the bathroom. I leave my room and go into the spare bedroom right beside to find the boy still passed out. I walk over and perch on the edge of the bed before reaching out and running my hand through his soft hair. The light brown strands fall back into place and I smile at him.
"Henry, it's time to wake up. It's time for school." I say and his eyelashes flutter slightly.
"So you're just like your mother? Hard to wake up?" I ask him and his eyebrows scrunch together but he still stays asleep. I shake him slightly and he groans.
"Henry." I say, dragging his name out and shaking him again.
"Ginaaaa." He moans, dragging my name out just like I had his, and I laugh lightly.
"Yes Henry?" I ask and he rolls over and peels his eyes open to stare at me.
"I don't want to get up." He says with a pout and I lean down to kiss him gently. He smiles groggily.
"You have too, okay? I'll make you waffles for breakfast and you can have hot cocoa." I tell him and he seems to wake up.
"Okay!" He crawls out of bed and walks to the bathroom down the hall after asking me where it was. I go downstairs and start making batter after putting on an apron. Emma and Henry meet me downstairs just as I finish the first batch and have started frying bacon.
"Oh my god how did we get so lucky Henry!?" Emma exclaims and I smile.
"I don't even know Mom!" He giggles and I can't hold back the laugh.
"You two are something else." I say and lay down a plate of waffles and bacon. They dive in and I join them soon after. Emma says she's lucky but I know I'm the one who's lucky. They are all I've ever wanted.
"Good morning Tink." I smile at my assistant and she looks up at me.
"Regina! Good morning." Tink smiles at me. "How was your vacation?"
"It was wonderful. Can you get me a coffee and any messages from last week, as well as any paperwork that needs to get done today?" I ask her and she nods.
"For sure. That'll be right in." She says and I go into my office. I take off my jacket and put it on the hanger before walking over to my desk and dropping my purse down beside it. Tink comes in a few minutes later with a cup of coffee and a small stack of paperwork and sets it all on my desk.
"Thank you dear. If anyone comes, intercom me first before letting them in." I tell her and she nods before leaving the room. I work through the morning without pause and right before lunch I get out my phone. I have two messages, one from Emma and one from Robin.
Emma: Want to have lunch together or meet up after work?
Robin: Regina I want to have lunch. We haven't seen each other in a week.
I tell Emma that we should meet up after work and tell Robin that he should meet me at my office. He offers to bring food and I oblige. I have to end things with him today. About fifteen minutes later my phone rings and I pick it up.
"Yes Tink?"
"Robin is here to see you. Should I send him back?" She asks, sounding very unsure.
"Yes send him through. And Tink?" I stop her before she can hang up.
"Yeah?"
"Go take your lunch break." I inform her and there is a moment of silence.
"Okay Miss Mills." She says and then hangs up. A moment later my door opens and Robin walks in, a to-go bag in his hand. He gives me a warm smile and I return it, trying to hide my guilt. I get up and he embraces me in a hug before I can avoid it. I make sure it's kept short and guide him over to the table.
"Come, sit." I invite and he does as I say. We begin eating, the air between us heavy and awkward.
"Just spit it out." He suddenly blurts and I look up at him in surprise.
"Excuse me?"
"I know you're hiding something or that you need to tell me something Regina." Robin says and I set down my fork and push away my meal. I don't have an appetite anymore.
"I'm breaking up with you." I say simply. He stops moving and drops his food back into the container. I force myself to keep looking at him as his lips press into a thin line.
"Why are you breaking up with me?" Robin asks, his voice hard. I can tell he's hiding his anger right under the surface.
"I've met someone else." I tell him.
"Who is it?" He asks. I don't say a word. I'm too scared for his reaction.
"Who. Is. It?" He asks angrily. When I still say silent he grabs my arm.
"Emma." I hiss. He squeezes before letting go. He slams his fist down on the table and I flinch.
"Of course it's Emma. That bitch can't stay away from what's mine." Robin spits.
"I am not property." I say angrily. He paces beside the table and I stay seated.
"But you are mine. She shouldn't be with you. It's not right." He says, stopping to look at me.
"What's not right? That I'm gay?" I ask him bitterly. His eyes narrow and I sit very still.
"You are not gay."
"You can't tell me what I am. I know that I'm gay and there is no way to change that. My mother must have realized it when I was a child and tried to instill in my mind that I liked men but I don't." I tell him calmly. Robin stalks over to me and lifts me up by my elbows. I whine in protest but he doesn't stop. He presses his fingers harder into my arms and I try to get out of his grip. He only lifts me higher and moves to push me against the wall.
"Robin, put me down! You're hurting me!" I whimper, my voice breaking in a moment of weakness.
"You are not gay. You're just saying that to hurt me." Robin growls. He pulls me away from the wall and then bangs me against it. I hit my head, unable to stop it from hitting the wall roughly. Tears jump into my eyes at the pain and I will them to go away. You can't cry in front of him.
"No, I'm not Robin. You don't understand. Why can't you just let me go?" I whisper.
"Because I love you Regina." He states, his grip tightening on my arms.
"But I love her." I tell him and he drops me to the ground. I end up laying on the floor, the sudden drop catching me unprepared.
"I know you don't mean that." He says. I go to get up, already shaking my head but he just pushes me back down.
"Robin, just stop!" I yell and he looks at me with laser focus.
"You don't get to tell me what to do! I love you Regina and you're just trying to hurt me!" He yells back, slapping me across the face. I gasp sharply in pain, my head snapping to the side.
"Leave! Now! We're done!" I scream, not looking at him as I let the tears fall. I hear his footsteps move to the door and the thud as the door closes again. I'm left alone and that's when I full begin to cry.
After a few minutes I pull myself off the floor and look into the mirror, finding a large red mark on my cheek. I wipe away my tears and pull off my blazer before rolling up my sleeves. I see marks already forming where he grabbed me.
"Fucking bastard." I say to myself and turn around and go back to my desk. I pick up my phone and dial the number to the station.
"This is the sheriff's station, how can we help you?" Graham's voice comes through the phone.
"Hi, this is Regina Mills. I was just assaulted."
I know it's been a while and I'm sorry. I'm busy and I've been having lots of medical problems. please leave any reviews :)
